You spend more time in the bedroom than any room in your home. Use these tips to make the most of your favorite space.

Upgrade Your Pillows

If you don’t have a small fortune to spend on linens, start with your pillows. Buy one for both you and your partner that fits the way each of you sleep. Then, upgrade the pillows in your shams. You’ll be amazed at how much more neat your bed will look with a new pillow that has a nice shape.

And while we’re at it, lose the superfluous throw pillows. A pair for sleeping, a pair of Euro-size shams, and a pair of standard-size shams is all you need. Add a bolster or lumbar pillow in a contrasting fabric to give the bed some interest.
